    A heated fireplace tarp shelter..

    I don't know if I am allowed to post this . If not please delete and my apologies.
    I am an avid watcher of this guy on youtube , as I am sure some of you are.

    I live in Idaho and the winter's can be pretty brutal here.
    I use an NX-250 as my hammock.

    I saw this video , and in the comments someone posted a video of a woman that does the samething in Europe. In her video I think it's the Swiss Alps.

    I had noticed she had built a cot from beams which I have done before. So I got to thinkin , what if I used David's idea for the heated tarp shelter , found the 2 perfect tree's with the right distance , packed the right sized tarp , and bamm I could hang my nx-250
    inside the shelter and stay relatively warm based on my gear setup.

    Like I said it can get quite cold where I live up in the mountains during winter. As much as I love to look at the star's, I think being able to hang my hammock inside a heated tarp shelter would just make a 2-3 day excursion even better.

    Again if I am not allowed to post this I am sorry. It's an ingenious idea so wanted to share and see if anyone on here had tried something like this.

    Ditto on smokehouse. The only thing I don't like about his shelter is that I dont own one.

    I would never be able to get to sleep thinking about the whole tarp going up in flames.

    I love the idea of a heated shelter, which I would love even more if I camped where the snow goes.

    I've done a little bit of searches, and haven't
    been able to find tent/stove shelters.
    Can anyone please link to them?

    I am assuming that it is the same that I have seen
    for tents. A stove pipe extends through an opening
    in the ceiling. There is a circle cut out, reinforced by
    heat resistant material. Usually there is a flap that
    covers the stove pipe hole so that it can be closed
    when not in use.
